In doing so, we will critically revisit the notion of Relational Aesthetics as introduced by French curator Nicolas Bourriaud in 1998, tweaking the concept towards a materialist, more-than-human and post-colonial outlook. In proposing an Earthly Relational Aesthetics we will use Glissant’s critiques of colonial capitalism and engage with a “materialism of encounter” capable of accounting for a poetics immanent to specific situated and earthly, that is, historically informed and materially active, modes of sensation. Drawing on Glissant’s postcolonial writings, we suggest to trouble Western philosophical discourses on aesthetics as continued processes of colonization.
